Si vs. SiC

Designing SiC Technology-Based High-Performance Converters

Diverse power applications use Si-based power switches such as IGBTs and MOSFETs. Due to the advantages of wide bandgap material properties, using SiC-based devices promise a significant increase in system efficiency and far higher switching frequencies than today’s Si-based devices can offer. A question will arise: when should we choose Si versus SiC?

Key Takeaways

• Review and compare the pros and cons of Silicon MOSFET, IGBTs, and SiC devices
• Examine common power topologies and typical waveforms
• Evaluate power losses in SiC devices and how to minimize losses
• Show the advantages of the Kelvin source package
• Introduce the onsemi SiC product portfolio
